*feels you nearby, closes my eyes letting the Force direct me and turns to face in your direction, waiting for you to show yourself. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.*
I watch him with hooded eyes as I come toward him. I can sense the peace within him, and I know it is his greatest weakness. To defeat a Jedi all you have to do is break through that calm that surrounds them. Make them lose their temper.
"Jedi." I smiled and used the Force to hit him in the back of the head with a small rock.
*Scowls, rubbing the back of my head. Recalling the words of my master calms me- "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they*
"Sith."
*Can't help myself, messes up your hair with TK so it falls in your eyes*
Well that didn't take long. His temper is already fraying at the edges. To think that my Master said that Jedi didn't know how to have fun.
"How shall we play this?" I gave him a slow smile as I paced around him. "Insults? Taking pot shots at each other with the Force." I flicked the red blade of my lightsaber into life. The hum of its energy thrumming through me. "Or do we cut each other into rancor chow?"
The blue of my saber glows in front of me as I watch him. My only movement is to turn as he circles, always facing him. I wish I'd thought to put my hood on, this would look so much cooler with the hood.
"A Jedi knight does not initiate violence. He only reacts and defends."
"How many years did it take you to memorize all of that?" I asked, rolling my eyes as he repeated bits of the Jedi Code. "Seriously, doesn't it get old? Don't you wish you could be free to enjoy yourself? Free to feel what it's like to be alive?"
God he is so smug. If it wasn't so irritating I'd be laughing at his comment.
"What makes you think I'm not free? I live, I laugh, I fuck.. I just don't have to hurt others while I'm doing it. The Force provides me with all I need."
"But you don't get to experience any of it do you?" He's getting annoyed. I can feel him fighting the anger that I revel in. "Wouldn't it be better to love than to simply fuck someone?"
"What do you know about love? Have you ever loved someone?"
I'm not about to tell him how close that hit to home, hundreds of missed opportunities flash through my memory. Loves that could have been if I hadn't been committed to something else first, something greater. It hits so close all I want to do is strike back. Sneering, I step closer.
"You really think you're superior, don't you?" I let out a snort of my own. "I've known love. I have it now. When I share with my partner." I loved my voice when he sneered at me. "We share everything. You should try it. I mean really, why bother to fuck something alive when you can get all that the Jedi code allows from a droid?"
"Good for you, little Jedi. Good for you." I hit him with a wave of the Force, knocking him back until I was out of reach of his lightsaber's blade. "Tell me, why do you do it?"
The wave stumbles me only as long as I resist. I slide back a few more inches as I let it wash over me, still on my feet.
"Because it's right. All life is intertwined, dependent on one another. The Force unites us for a greater purpose together." He sneers at my sentiment but I just smile back, circling once more.

Said with no emotion, it's simply fact. His droid jab has no effect, he knows nothing about me.
"Why does anyone do what they do, hold a set of beliefs, live their life the way they think best if they don't think what they're doing is right?"

"And because I have to. It's in my nature."

"Time to die then, Jedi."
